Three Non-Colinear Points
Number of solutions: 1
GeoGebra construction
Steps
- Construct the segment bisector of the segment CB.
- Construct the segment bisector of the segment AC.
- Construct the segment bisector of the segment AB.
- Name the point of intersection of all three aforementioned bisectors S. This intersection is the center of the circle we are looking for.
- Construct a circle with the center S and the radius SA.
GeoGebra construction
Steps
- Choose the circle for a circular inversion: the center of this circle is one of the specified points from the assignment. The circle's radius is chosen in a way that another of the specified points lies on the circle and is therefore a fixed point. However, this is not strictly necessary.
- In a circular inversion, point A is displayed to infinity, point B is fixed, point C is displayed to C'.
- The projection of the solution in the circular inversion is the line p passing through the projection of all three points (the projection of the point A is at infinity).
- We project the line p in the circular inversion. Its image is the desired circle k.
